Illinois Architect Renewal Guideline for 2016

Based on Illinois’ current standards, architects must complete 24 hours of continuing education (CE) units every two years to meet the architect license requirements. Of those 24 hours, at least 16 must concentrate on Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) curriculum. Architects have a renewal deadline of November 30th, each even numbered year.

How do I renew my Illinois Architect license?

A renewal notice will be sent to you in the mail approximately two months prior to the expiration date of your license. It is important to always keep your address updated with the state so you will receive your renewal notice.

Do I need to complete continuing education requirements for my AIA Membership?

YES, as an Architect member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), 18 learning unit hours are required per calendar year for membership renewal. Of these 18 hours, at least 12 hours must be in subjects designated as Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW).

Who offers online continued education?

Along with individual AIA approved courses Architects Training Institute has created 4 different course packages specifically for Architects in Illinois. These packages range from 8-HRs to 24-HRs and are approved for license renewal.

Your preparation course for the Residential Contractor was great. I passed the first time with no problems.

Mike Pahl from Minnesota

I just wanted to say thank you offering the 60 hour pre-licensure course. I really enjoyed the video courses as well as the written. I am certain that your course is the reason that I passed my Michigan license test on the first try. Thanks again.

Matthew Jacks from Caspian, MI

I’ll never do it any way but this way! With your online course, I completed my Minnesota CE out of the Country!

Randall Webb, Minneapolis, MN

Your courses are inexpensive with an easy to use platform. Much more convenient than taking time off work to go to a live course. I like that I can do it on my own time, VERY CONVENIENT!

Adam Madison from St. George, UT

This is definitely the way to go for me. I’ll do it again. I’ve spoken with three different people at your office and you’ve all been really great.

Dave Auger from Lauderdale, Minnesota

Dave was incredible. He spent quite a bit of time with me and nailed the problem. The classes were great, had real world application and I enjoyed the instructor.

Josh Briney - Benton Harbor, MI

You guys are so incredible! You have been nothing but positive experience. You are always helpful, you think of what we need ahead of time. We don’t take the class and get a ‘see you later’ now that you have our money — you stick with us! You treat old customers just like a new one. You’re always there for the followup!

Darrin Newbery, Davison, MI

I have now passed both sections and have received my license! I wanted to thank you all for all you have done for me through this process, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the way you guys handled every aspect of this. Thanks again!

Michael John Loughray - Ann Arbor, MI

The videos are great! I’m able to watch them on my phone at any time.
Not to mention a huge savings in time and money!

Thank You Builders License Training Institute! Your prices are reasonable and I learned more in this online course than the classroom courses I’ve had to sit in all day!
